I was thrilled today to receive the 3D printed forms of the inner ear model I worked on last semester! Several months ago I had a vision of a lovely inner ear pendant, anatomically accurate and actual size. And now I have at least the prototype, beta version –the size may need to be adjusted. Right now the length is 1.5 cm, and I’ve had a heck of a time getting good data on average human inner ear lengths/dimensions. If nothing else, it’s got to be accurate for a newborn’s inner ear.

Here’s a picture!
